Not pictured are Mike’s wife Monica and Mike and Doug’s parents Howard and Ginny. Ashlyn’s calf (not pictured) Ovaltop Barbwire Spark was unanimous 2015 AA R&W Spring Calf.

“We’ve used Udder Comfort™ from the beginning, changing from the lotion to the sprays, which are easier to work with and more convenient,â€? says 5th generation dairyman Mike Wolfe. He and wife Monica, brother Doug and parents Howard and Ginny Wolfe operate Ovaltop Holsteins, Richfield Springs, New York, home to a milk herd of 80 registered cows, including 26 EX and 47 VG, averaging 25,500 pounds of quality milk. “We stay with Udder Comfort because it is a good product that definitely works best, all the way around. We use it on all fresh cows: young and old. It keeps them more comfortable, and heifers are less kicky. We have tried other products, but this is the most effective with better absorption.
Quality Udders Make Quality Milk
Keep the milk in the system 1.888.773.7153 1.613.652.9086 uddercomfort.com Call to locate a distributor near you. For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.
“For the first 7 days after calving: All udders are sprayed after each milking. This routine is one of the things that helped us reduce our herd SCC a bit. Getting edema out leaves udders softer and healthier, with faster milk response.�

Two new Gold Medal Dams Three new Dams of Merit Two more cows over 150,000 LT Three more cows over 200,000 LT. Here is my snowman. Has a pitchfork and milk stool, work boots, milk cowboy hat, etc. to help me get the jobs done (ha ha.) I made it around the middle of December 2015.We had nine inches of snow and it lasted just three days, because then we had one-and-a-half inches of rain. After that my six-foot farm helper all melted and went away. I would say this is the first snowman ever put in the Cattle Connection in its 25 years, and I have put some sort of ad or writeup in it for 24 of those years. It has been really nice and fun to do that over the years.
time, with rain, sleet, snow, that killed a lot of wildlife, plus many hunters and other people.
And then the last half of January 2016 and the first part of February we have had twenty-three inches of snow in three different snowstorms, and a lot of wind, and down to 18 below zero at times. Right now it is 12 below zero as I write this on February 10th, real winter weather.
Then up here at Castalia, Iowa, Roughway Dairy, around 1999, I did not leave my small herd of cows in the barn even at night until around December 4th, the weather was so nice until then; normally I start leaving my cows in at night about the last past of October.
In the past, back in the 1940s, on Armistice Day, known as Veterans’ Day today, November 11th, there was a big, big storm that hit Northeast Iowa, and parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, along the Mississippi River. The temperature went from 82 degrees down to 12 below zero, in a twelve-hour
What do we call the last 80 years, Global Warming? As much as I have seen when it comes to weather, it goes in five, ten, twenty year cycles. Yes, we have to watch many things, but God is still in control of many, many things.
I have received the Holstein World for November 2015 with the 2016 calendar in it, and I did not put up the last one or the one for 2016. There is not any 100% purebred Holstein breeder in the twelve-month calendar and I did the same thing with it. And now the Holstein World just comes out every two months, and in time there will be no 100% purebred Holstein breeders in it.
I get the Mid-States Holstein News and it is good to read about Toecky Dairy Farm at Huggins, MO, and Brad & Todd Groves, Groves-View Dairy in Billings, MO. Real, real good mature cows and as much as I know, 100% purebred Holsteins.
Like I said before, purebred Holsteins are going out the window and percents are taking over. Even AI companies don’t say that some bulls are percent bulls in every case, and the same goes with many sales, etc. All dairy breeds are the same way. You blame the cattle, it is the people in all breeds.
And before that, in the 1930s, there was the very, very dry weather in the Midwest, including Iowa. Then in my days, I was born in 1944 in Boone, Iowa and later moved to Norwalk, Iowa. In the 1960s, temperatures one summer were over 100 degrees 11 days in a row. And then in the 1970s we had the temperature in the winter where it was below zero for nine days in a row, with a lot of snow and as low as 29 below zero.
I have seen the last year, five herds in the Midwest that I thought were 100% purebred Holstein herds, that now have less than 100% purebred cattle in them. How sad.They were real outstanding herds in the Midwest and now money, etc has taken them over. Crossbreeding, crossbreeding, all many people think of.
The future, and the future of all who follow, will be shaped by the 2016 elections. Over the past eight years, we have watched as radical Islam and communists are as good as ignored by the federal government, while President Obama claims that climate change is a greater world threat than ISIS or communism.The federal government systematically expands into virtually every area of life. It seems to be the case in Washington that up is down, and left is right. Each day, our federal government becomes more lawless. Once we lose the rule of law, we lose our freedom. There are two ways to live your life. One as though nothing is a miracle, the other as though everything is!
If parents and grandparents, church leaders, concerned citizens and teachers don’t start to take back control of their local schools, and if they don’t make their voices heard in the right way, I believe historians will look back and declare that this was the turning point when America’s schools became the vassals of educational corportations, big software companies, and UN bureaucrats. You might think your children or grandchildren in private schools or homeschooled, that this doesn’t affect them, but you would be wrong. If left in place, the Common Core standards are eventually going to affect everyone. The forces behind this movement are not content to merely take over the public schools. As educational historian Diane Ravitch points out, no one will escape their Common
Core standards’ reach, whether they attend public or private school. Adolph Hitler famously said, “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.” It has been showing up every year since then, and now President Vladimir Putin of Russia is adding to the fire. In the USA, communism is moving in and many people don’t see what is happening in our government of today very, very fast. When you leave God out and think you’re better than God, look out. It is part of a globalist agenda, moving forward the New World Order. It has a heavy, progressive ideological component. It eliminates the truth about America’s history and the foundations of Western civilization. It puts American students at a disadvantage in math and reading skills. It was developed in secret, without input from the public or teachers.
SMILES: A boss is someone who is early when you’re late and late when you’re early. SMILES: It is a law of nature that children lose all desire to play in water when they are old enough to wash dishes. SMILES: Every man has one thing he can do better than anyone else; usually it’s reading his own handwriting.
God gives us Biblical principles not so that we can arrange our lives according to our taste, but so that we can know how God wants us to live. Have you ever saw Hee Haw?
It enriches a small handful of multi-billion-dollar education corporations. It will lead to national data collection on all students and their families. Jesus regarded children as a precious treasure. As Christians, it is among our highest duties to protect our children and grandchildren and ensure that they grow up being taught Biblical truth. “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6 (NKJV) Look out for facebook online, smart phones, video games, texting, cell phones, the technology generation. No matter what year it is, 1900 or 2016, more bad than any good.
A dog comes when called. A cat takes a message and gets back to you later! Never trust anyone who doesn’t like cats! COMMON SENSE...Two big, big words.
